Christmas can't be far away



A neighbour tipped his hat to me this mornin'

The landlord even smiled and said good-day

And I want you to know a stranger said hello

Christmas can't be far away



Old tight wad down the street is buying candy

To pass out to the neighbour kids at play

The town is on the go

The weather man said snow

Christmas can't be far away



The small fry on our block have all been saving

And now their hiding things and looking sly

Mum will get that doodad she's been craving

And Dad'll get his usual Christmas tie



Both young and old are planning sweet surprises

They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay

Good will is in the air

You feel it everywhere



Christmas can't be far away

Christmas can't be far away
